Emt Distribution embarks on Stealthbits partner recruitment drive

Cyber security software specialist Emt Distribution is on the hunt for cloud resellers to get on board with its Stealthbits data protection offering, which it brought on board as part of a local distribution agreement in mid-2018.

Although the Adelaide-based distributor has had Stealthbits on the books for just over two years, Emt Distribution chief marketing officer Scott Hagenus reckons now is the time for the vendor, whose products work to protect credentials and data from insider threats and automates tasks for security and compliance, to ramp up its local presence. 

“Demand for Stealthbits solutions has been doubling in Australia and New Zealand every year,” Hagenus said. “As well as ransomware attacks, a lot of the demand has been driven by [the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s Prudential Standard CPS234 Information Security].

“Financial organisations need to understand where their sensitive data is and demonstrate how they secure it. Many of them are doing it in stages, and that is driving ongoing business for Stealthbits partners,” Hagenus added.

Broadly, the distributor suggests that Stealthbits data-centric security solutions are being driven by a combination of compliance requirements and the need to protect sensitive data from targeted cyber attacks.
